We are excited to announce that BCT will be holding open auditions at 3pm on Sunday, March 7th 2021 for performers who want to take part in our next creative project: BCT SHORTS 2021- The Zoom Edition! This is an online festival of one act plays and we’d love to see you there! (Please note the first part of the audition process is a video audition that must be submitted in advance... read on and register for complete details. )What are BCT Shorts?
BCT Shorts 2021 is the name of the annual BCT Fringe Festival in the time of Covid-19. We have put together a series of one-act plays that range from 3 to 20 minutes long; however, rather than performing them in a theatre as we have done in the past, this year we will film them on ZOOM and stream them online on the BCT Youtube channel. The staging is minimal, the creativity is maximum and we aim to create a supportive environment for everyone involved. Timing will vary play by play but for the most part, rehearsals will take place in March and the filming and screening will happen at the end of the month or possibly early April if need be.
Essentially, BCT Shorts 2021 will be a great opportunity for anyone who wants to perform, including those who are new to performing, haven't done it for a while or are just a bit nervous — as it is designed to give those people a fun way into acting with BCT. That said, we also love to have experienced actors and veteran BCT members involved too! Especially those whose busy schedules preclude them from joining larger productions.
Great! But who can audition?
There are lots of plays to be cast so there are plenty of roles available and they are suitable for anyone over 18 who can cope with an English language script. English does NOT have to be your first language. Enthusiasm is more important than experience so we don’t care if you’ve never acted before. Some of the plays have mature content and language; the minimum age for this production is 18 years old and several plays require ‘mature’ performers.
That's me! Tell me more about the auditions!
The auditions will be held on Sunday, March 7th at Bistro 33, on Sukhumvit 33. However, we are asking everyone to send a video audition as well between Feb 28 and March 3.
Live Auditions begin at 15:00, with registration at 14:30; however time slots will be assigned in groups of 10 to manage social distancing. You will be asked to act from a script and probably do some improvisation or movement work. If this sounds daunting don't worry! The atmosphere is very informal and everyone is very supportive and helpful.
I'm in! How do I sign up for auditions?
To register for auditions, please email: [email protected] We will confirm your registration and provide you with an audition form and time slot as well as a list of the plays and characters and more details about the auditions.
I'm interested but I cannot attend on March 7th…..If necessary, we can cast from your video audition alone but we strongly encourage you to do both.
Please do share this information with anyone you know who might be interested in auditioning. We look forward to seeing you at auditions!
PS - please note that clicking "going" on this event does not count as registration for auditions. Please email us!!
